Top 6 Methods for How to Get Rid of a Unibrow By Yourself

I am sure you dislike untidy facial hairs. Knowing how to get rid of a unibrow is another way of making sure you look presentable and well kempt. If you want to increase your self-esteem and stand tall with a gorgeous face, read on and discover a number of working remedies to get rid of a unibrow!

1. Tweezing

The first common remedy to try out is tweezing. You can use tweezers to pluck out the overgrown hair between your brows. This remedy is temporary and you should expect the hairs to grow back after a while.

You will need...

A wash cloth

Some hot water

A mirror or a magnifying mirror

Aloe Vera gel

An ice cube

Directions

First of all, you should beware that this process is painfull and might lead to some sore or red skin afterwards. As a way of easing the soreness, take the wash cloth and immerse it in hot water. Then ring out the wash cloth and use it to dampen the area around the unibrow. Do this before tweezing. The alternative to this method is to take a hot shower before tweezing.

To make tweezing easier and more accurate, use the mirror or the magnifying glass. Make sure you tweeze the hairs starting from the middle of the unibrow going outwards. After gently tweezing, apply the Aloe Vera gel to sooth the skin. You can use the ice cubes to avoid ending up with a sore skin.

2. Sugaring

Sugaring, also known as sugar waxing is a method of hair removal that is quite similar to waxing. It is performed by mixing sugar with other ingredients to create a wax like substance that is used to remove the unibrow. Here is how to get started on sugaring.

You will need...

Some brown sugar

Water

Honey

A strip of cloth

Directions

Start by mixing two teaspoons of the brown sugar with one teaspoon of honey in a bowl. Then add one teaspoon of water and stir the mixture thoroughly before putting it in a microwave.

Now microwave the mixture for 30 seconds while stirring the mixture after every 10 seconds. Make sure the mixture bubbles and turns brown before removing it from the microwave. Be careful not to let the mixture stay too long in the microwave as it might get too hard.

Cool the mixture to room temperature to get a warm and thick substance. Take the cloth strip and press gently on the sugar wax before applying it on the surface of the unibrow.

Finally let the sugar wax on your skin harden for about 60 seconds before quickly pulling the cloth from your unibrow. Afterwards, you can use a hydrocortisone to prevent any skin irritation.

3. Shaving

This method does not cause as much pain. However you should know that it might leave you with razor bumps on your skin. Shaving is a simple and common process.

All you need to do is shave as usual around the eye brows. While shaving away the unibrow, be careful not to ruin the natural shape of the eyebrows. This method is fast, simple and an easy way to get rid of a unibrow.

4. Hair removal cream

Another easy way of getting rid of a unibrow is to use hair removal cream. There are various kinds of hair removal creams that can get the job done. Make sure you get a facial hair removal cream to get quick results.

While applying the cream, be careful not to let it get into your eyes as it might cause some irritation. Just like shaving, hair removal creams only remove hair on the surface. This is the main reason as to why you should expect hair to grow back faster.

Before buying a hair removal cream, test it on your skin by simply applying some of that cream at the back of your hand. Leave it to sit there for some time to determine whether you are allergic to the cream or not.

5. Threading

Threading is an old method of hair removal that finds its origin in India. It is much quicker and more precise than waxing or shaving. It is a great hair removal technique that is recommended for people with sensitive skins.

You will need...

Thick thread

A small pair of scissors

Loose powder

Directions

Start by measuring 15 to 20 inches of the thick thread and cutting it. After that, join the two ends together to make a knot. Make about 3 knots. Now stretch the thread into a rectangle with the fingers going into the rectangle and back upwards.

Turn the thread over to make an ‘x’ in the middle. Rotate the ‘x’ using your dominant hand. Apply some loose powder on the unibrow, and start to thread against the growing direction of the unibrow hairs. After threading, use the scissors to redefine the shape of your eyebrows.

6. Waxing

Another well known option for getting rid of an unsightly unibrow is waxing. It is a great option especially for people that find tweezing uncomfortable. You can decide to go professional and get waxed at a beauty spa or salon, or you can do it at home with a waxing kit.

If you choose to go for the cheaper option of getting a waxing kit and doing it yourself, there are a few things to consider. You have to know that waxing too can be painful but the best part is that is can be done quickly. Since the process eliminates the hairs from their roots, hairs growing back take some time which is a good thing.

If you are new to waxing, make sure you get yourself a waxing kit that come with a wax-covered strip to make your work much easier. After waxing the unibrow off, you might need some antibacterial lotion and some ice cubes to sooth the waxed skin.
